Scalpel in hand, a conservative strategist dissects Trumpism, the Washington,
D.C. swamp, and the new GOP. The autopsy report isn’t pretty. Wilson’s insider
take is hilarious, smartly written, and usually spot-on.

Tailspin by Sandra Brown

Early in this suspenseful romantic thriller, “freight dog” pilot Rye Mallett
agrees to fly a small plane in foggy weather into a remote area of northern
Georgia to deliver a black box which some people are willing to kill for. The
adventure unfolds as a laser beam causes the plane to crash. Brown’s many fans

The Money Shot by Stuart Woods

Blackmail drives bestseller Woods and Edgar-finalist Hall’s exciting second
novel starring former CIA agent Teddy Faye. Teddy is working as a stunt man on
an action film and sets out to identify and take out those behind the scheme.

plot, distinctive villains, and a neat resolution make this a winner.

The Washington Decree by Jussi Adler-Olsen

This book by this Danish writer is set in America. Democratic senator Bruce
Jansen is elected president. When Jansen’s wife is assassinated, Jansen cracks
down hard. Congress is shut down. Undocumented immigrants are deported, borders

easily democracy can slide into autocracy, scaring the apathy out of readers.

Because of age-related changes to the eyes and diseases such as cataracts,
diabetes or glaucoma, older people are susceptible to problems with night
vision. First, talk to your optometrist about night-driving glasses even if you
don’t wear glasses during the day. If you’re getting new glasses, consider an
antireflective coating to help reduce glare. If you are having cataract surgery,
ask about getting an aspheric intraocular lens, which improves contrast
sensitivity-though it’s not covered by Medicare or insurance. When you are
driving at night-make sure that your headlights, windows and mirrors are clean,
use your window defoggers in bad weather, slow your speed, and turn on your high
beams more often.

Stingy Schobel Says

Fees to watch out for when buying a home, especially with mortgage rates at a
seven-year high: Lender fees include appraisal, credit report and processing
charges. You may also be charged flood certification, tax service and other
fees-ask what they actually pay for and if any can be eliminated or reduced.
Escrow fees pay the agent who takes in money, disburses it and records
paperwork. Title fees pay to make sure that your home has no ownership
issues-but other fees may be included which can possibly be reduced or
eliminated. Government fees are transfer fees which can vary widely. Real estate
fees may include pest, home, well and septic inspections, soil reports and other
services and are paid by the buyer or seller. Transaction coordination fee pays
for someone to handle all the real estate paperwork and usually is not
negotiable, but you can ask your real estate agent to pay it.

sisters?’

Without
missing a beat, one little boy answered, ‘Thou shall not kill..’
